This highly prestigious award emphasizes the company’s innovation expertise. The award-winning eWheelDrive is a wheel hub drive that enables the integration of forward-looking vehicle architecture and interior concepts, particularly in electric city vehicles. A highly-respected jury judged around 100 submissions according to their scientific and technical performance, marketing management, safety, innovation, engineering, feasibility, stage of development and sustainability.

Rolf Najork, Head of Schaeffler’s eMobility Systems division, received the award from Martin Zeil, Bavarian Minister for the Economy, Infrastructure, Transport and Technologies. “This ecological and economical drive concept allows new approaches for city vehicles”, says Rolf Najork. “The optimization of space and function provides additional useful space and improved maneuverability. Further advantages of the eWheelDrive are its braking assistance function for increasing driving safety and more rapid response.” Prof. Dr.-Ing. Peter Gutzmer, Member of the Executive Board and CTO at Schaeffler, continues: “The eCarTec Award recognizes our contribution to efficient future mobility. This award is also in recognition of the high level of commitment shown by our creative employees and our corporate culture which fosters innovation.”
